Divorce coach Catherine Cooke joins self-belief expert Jenny Field to talk honestly about what really happens when a relationship ends. They break down fear, anger, guilt, boundaries, talking to your kids, how to leave safely and how to decide if you even should leave. This is not just “legal divorce”, this is the emotional rollercoaster and how to survive it with dignity.

Anger vs grief
Kids and conflict
Boundaries & needs
